I have been looking (thrifting) for a pair of chocolate brown suede loafers to no avail. About a week ago I found this nice pair, leather sole, barely worn, suede loafers. They fit despite being a 10.5 while I wear an 11. I took them home and decided I would try to dye them. I am pleased with the end result. All in, the shoes cost $22.00 and the dye another $22. So for just shy of $45. I have the shoes I wanted. First 2 pics are before, 3rd is halfway through and 4th is the finished project.
